AI Enviornment & Cloud Engineer - London - £90-100k
Please note - this role will require you to attend the Central London office a minimum of 3 days per week.
Our client is a leading Lloyd's of London market broker currently investing heavily in both cloud technology and AI enablement across the business. With a modern Microsoft-centric technology estate and ambitious growth plans, they are seeking an experienced AI Environments & Cloud Engineer to help build, secure and optimise the cloud infrastructure that underpins the organisation's next generation AI capabilities.
This is a highly visible role within a fast-paced, stakeholder-driven environment, offering the opportunity to work directly with senior business leaders and technology teams on strategic initiatives.
The Role
As an AI Environments & Cloud Engineer, you will play a critical role in designing, managing and enhancing cloud environments that support both business-critical applications and emerging AI technologies.
Working within a lean and highly capable infrastructure team, you'll be expected to take ownership across a broad range of cloud and infrastructure responsibilities, helping to securely integrate AI solutions into the organisation's technology landscape.
This is not a traditional infrastructure position focused on maintaining legacy environments. Instead, we're looking for a cloud-first engineer with deep Azure expertise, strong Infrastructure-as-Code capabilities and a genuine interest in enabling AI at scale.
Key Responsibilities
Design, build and maintain secure cloud infrastructure across Azure environments.
Support the deployment, integration and operationalisation of AI technologies across the business.
Implement and manage Infrastructure-as-Code solutions using Terraform.
Ensure cloud platforms remain secure, scalable, resilient and cost-effective.
Work closely with business stakeholders to understand requirements and translate them into technical solutions.
Support cloud governance, security and best practice initiatives.
Collaborate with technology teams across infrastructure, data, security and AI functions.
Provide expertise around modern cloud architecture and AI platform readiness.
Drive continuous improvement across cloud operations and engineering practices.
Required Experience
Significant hands-on experience working within Microsoft Azure environments.
Strong cloud engineering or infrastructure engineering background.
Proven experience implementing and managing infrastructure using Terraform.
Deep understanding of cloud-native technologies and modern cloud architectures.
Experience supporting cloud-based platforms rather than predominantly on-premise environments.
Strong stakeholder management and communication skills.
Ability to operate effectively within a fast-moving, high-pressure business environment.
Experience engaging directly with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Desireable
Exposure to AWS environments.
Experience supporting AI, machine learning or generative AI initiatives.
Experience integrating AI solutions into enterprise environments.
Understanding of security considerations relating to AI deployment and adoption.
Knowledge of Microsoft technologies including Entra ID and broader Microsoft cloud services.
Exposure to GCP, although this is not a primary requirement.
The Ideal Candidate
We're looking for a cloud-first Infrastructure Engineer who combines strong Azure expertise with modern engineering practices and an interest in AI technologies.
Thrives in a hands-on, varied environment.
Enjoys owning problems and delivering solutions.
Can confidently engage with senior stakeholders.
Understands how to securely enable AI within an enterprise environment.
Has extensive Azure experience and can leverage Terraform to automate and manage cloud infrastructure.
Is comfortable working across multiple areas of technology rather than specialising in a single domain.
Working Enviornment
This organisation operates a collaborative, office-centric culture. Candidates must be comfortable working from the London office a minimum of three days per week.
Fast-paced
Highly visible
Stakeholder-facing
Delivery-focused
Technically progressive
Individuals seeking a purely remote role or a low-change environment are unlikely to be a good fit.
Package
Salary up to £100,000 (with flexibility for exceptional candidates)
20% Annual Bonus
Hybrid working (minimum 3 days per week in office)
Opportunity to work on cutting-edge cloud and AI initiatives within a leading Lloyd's market organisation
